❤️Loving all the first day of school photos!! This week we had a little one who was nervous for their very first day of school. Miss Amy shared her super awesome “hug button” trick! Little one gets a heart on their hand.. and mama gets a heart on their hand.. then when they are apart, if they are missing eachother, they can press their “hug button” to give a far away hug to their loved one until they see them again! This special little one decided they needed a hug button for EVERYONE in their family, pets included!! Hope all those first days went fantastic!! 🧡💛💚

Todays new word: Ahimsa 🦋

A yoga principal that encourages respect for all living things and nonviolence in thought, word, and deed;
Do No Harm.

Thanks so much to Ms. Sharon, our guest yoga instructor for a wonderful EMPOWER group tonight!🌷

🦋 Our EMPOWER Summer Group is in full swing! At our second meeting today we painted and planted cute little pots while discussing what helps us BLOOM!🌷

🌻 “When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

In remembrance of our nation's heroes, let us carry on their legacy of courage and determination as we pursue peace and justice for all. ❤️🤍💙

New!!! This summer! we are hosting our first EMPOWER group!! This will be a positivity and self esteem group for middle school girls utilizing arts, crafts, yoga, music, mindfulness, and more! This fun group, affectionately nicknamed “Counseling Camp” will be held at our office in Littleton on Tuesdays starting June 4th from 4:00-5:30pm. We are limiting this group to 12 girls so email Amy to save your spot ASAP!

What questions do you have?!? Write them in the comments or reach out today!

The Volcano is a great metaphor for children and adults alike!! Sometimes it seems we (or our kids) go from 1 to 5 in an instant, but if we learn to check in and notice our bodies, we can start using our tools at around a 3 so we don’t fully explode!

Calming tools and coping skills are great and a common reason people come to therapy.. but, they’re not going to work if you wait till you’re at a 5 to use them!! 🌋

📚 One thing our team truly enjoys is getting to partner with our local schools. This week, a few of us had the opportunity to meet the 🌟Awesome Mr. Kyle.. one of the counselors at St. Mary’s Academy! We went on a tour of their beautiful campus and heard all about the important work they are doing for their students!

Working alongside school counselors is an important aspect of holistically supporting students’ mental health! We love that St. Mary’s emphasizes the importance of community and fosters a space for students to flourish. 🦋

This.. All of this! But there are things you can do to combat overthinking! More to come!

So here’s the deal...not all overthinking is bad, right? Sometimes things actually need to be over-thought!😉
However, if your overthinking seems to not be productive or beneficial; and maybe even causes worry, anxiety, fear or sadness...then you know it’s time to do something about it!
Stay tuned for more on how to combat OVERTHINKING!🌿💜🌤✅

❄️Having a snow day in the middle of this crazy week, in the middle of this crazy season, has reminded me it’s ok to pause, it’s ok to rest.

I wish you all a day measured in cuddles, movies, and connection rather than emails, step counts, and productivity.

Our office will be closed today 3/14/24 due to weather. Please stay safe (and happy pi day!)

😱🎄⛄️🎁 2 WEEKS TILL CHRISTMAS🎁⛄️🎄😱
Flexy Lexi’s here with her Christmas outfit to remind you to be FLEXIBLE this time of year! Also..
*You don’t need matching Pajamas to be happy.
*You don’t need a Christmas Eve box to have a magical Christmas.
*Christmas movie nights do not need to be in a picture perfect (or clean!) home.
*The size of your present pile is not a reflection of you as a parent.
*A little extra screen time over break isn’t gonna hurt anyone. Down time is ok!
*Christmas cookies CAN come from a store.
*Children need presence more than presents. Kids will grow up to remember the Love and the Laughs and the time together more than what is under the tree!
How are you working on being a “Flexy Lexi” this time of year?

Spent my morning with this good boy! Therapy doggos make even training and networking fun! Thanks Decade2Connect!!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍗🥔🌽🍠🥧
